“JUST DO IT Milind.. commit to the K2S trek in March”, urged my friend Sumana last night.

I was unsure. I’ve been unsure for a year now whether I can handle such a tough trek. But the last time Sumana and me committed to something, we landed up in the Himalayas (Spiti Valley 2019).

But this trek is different.

The K2S trek is a gruelling 17 km trek from Katraj to Sinhagad Fort in Pune. The trek is usually done on a full moon night from 10pm to 5am. There are 14 hills you have to climb up and down.

“If you stop on the way, you’re finished”, Sumana told me. The secret is to keep walking. And there are many places where you could lose your way. If you get tired on the way you CANNOT quit and take a ride back home.

It’s VERY RISKY. And it’s SCARY. And it’s DEMANDING.

I have never walked that much in my life.. that too up and down like that like a madman.

Right now it sounds IMPOSSIBLE.
So I’m going to DO IT!

——————————-
You see I have learned to STOP believing my mind. I know my mind is DUMB. It will always look for reasons why something CANNOT be done.

My fitness coach (Coach Cozac) says “Your body can do anything. You just have to convince your mind.”

So I have told my mind “I CAN DO IT” even though it is telling me I can’t. And now that I have told YOU that I will do it, I WILL DO IT.

PUBLICLY commiting to something is the secret to any big achievement.

I have approx 4 months to get my body fit and into shape to do the trek. I lost 15 kgs for the Himalayas last year and another 15 after coming back, so losing a few more kilos for K2S and strengthening my endurance and stamina should not be difficult in 4 months.

The trek will be in my birthday week and when I post photos of the trek you will see a much more toned body. What a birthday gift that will be!

“It’s possible Sumana. I can do it. I will do it.”, I finally told her.

Is it the TRUTH that’s it’s possible?

Forget the truth.
The truth doesn’t matter.

It is possible because I SAID it is possible.
That’s all that matters.
